threatened by other countries to open up for trade. believed that the other countries had nothing to offer japan and that influence from the outside would do nothing good for japan

They gained the support of empress Cixi and they killed many foreigners, Chinese Christians, and anyone who had connections to outsiders.They were later stopped because of the support from the British, German, U.S., and Japanese troops who did not agree with this rebellion.
Comparisonsand contrasts:
China wanted to use European aid to their benefit, whereas Japan simply wanted nothing to do with western influences
Japan went back into a more traditional way of life and insisted on self-containment to preserve their unique culture, but China encouraged the influence and change and used it to thrive
China: the people fought against their government
Japan: the government controlled the people
Both countries, toward the end, in their own ways tried to run the outsiders away from their countries. They wanted those who did not belong to stop changing their culture and attempting to rule their land.
Japan, who was originally more self contained than the Chinese ended up being the one who benifited more from the outside influence.
Japan used the influence from the outside to its benifit and industrilized its society
